Hi Sup’er! 👩🏽🍳👨🏽🍳 Chaulafan (chow-la-faan), or Ecuadorian Fried Rice, is not only delicious but also nutricious! In Ecuador they like to add chicken, pork or prawns, but today we will giving it a vegetarian/High Andean twist. We will be combining veggies, rice and the infamous grain, quinoa. Quinoa (keen-wah) is a grain that flourishes in the Andes Mountains of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. It is an ancient seed grain that has been harvested for over 7,000 years. The Inca Empire considered quinoa to be sacred, and I understand why. Quinoa has become one of the world’s most popular superfoods. It is gluten free, full of fiber and contains all nine essential amino acids! This superfood can improve heart health and alleviate migraines.
